When approaching the town of Bhumesius, a man in his thirties came out of a two-story wooden house on the outermost part of the town.

"Mr. Lawrence, and Sariel."

Lawrence knew the man, who was Emma's husband, Craig.

The institution of marriage here of the barbarians is not monogamous, nor is it free love, but it also does not develop the idea of being a good person.

The men and women here are mainly engaged in ...... Brute force!

Slaves and captives are considered special events, and usually the normal precedent for marriage is a duel between men and men.

If several men take a fancy to the prettiest girl in the village at the same time, they will duel in the presence of the collective.

The way of fighting is not directly on the weapon, so how many people can't hold it, it's generally about strength, endurance and resistance to hits.

For example, a person who thinks he is brave will ask someone to punch him first, and then he will punch him again.

Whoever is knocked down with a punch will definitely be ridiculed.

The weak do not have the right to mate.

From the time they were children, they would take the initiative to exercise their physical endurance, and it was normal for them to be beaten.

In a duel, the loser is knocked to the ground with his stomach or head quietly playing dead, and no one will pay attention to him.

The winner will hug the charming girl and take ownership of the other party.

If it is a girl who has no one to pursue, there is naturally no need for a duel, but barbarians are not monogamous, and powerful barbarians will possess multiple women, like beasts that protect food.

Under this barbaric system, unless it is the god of war of the Northlands, who has been gifted since childhood, most young girls will be possessed by those barbarians who are close to thirty or forty years old.

Strong males are extremely possessive of young women, and the combination of old husbands and young wives is very common, and because men in the prime of life are more likely to bring back wealth and food, the concept of mate selection of barbarian women is influenced by Mu Qiang's genes, and they will actively choose the mate with the greatest benefits.

Only when the young barbarians went out to plunder could they bring back the treasures that favored the women.

Of course, there are more and more young people who never return and choose to settle in the outside world.

Emma's husband is not a qualified husband, and it doesn't matter how old he looks, the main reason is that he didn't show his strength, so that Emma's children, younger brother and parents were harmed, and he didn't bring back rich treasures and prey.

Lawrence didn't have a good relationship with him either, and calmly asked, "Quigg, what are you doing here?" ”

Craig said arrogantly: "I'm a guard here now, do you know what a guard is?" ”

Lawrence didn't mean to be angry, and Sariel, who was next to him, said directly: "Quigg, why did VIP give you this kind of thing, just because you haven't killed anyone?" ”

Quigg was immediately annoyed, as if he had been scarred.

"I've killed people! Kill two people! ”

His hysteria was met with Salil's contempt.

Before Sariel could say anything, a big, strong fat man came from nearby.

Friesen scoffed, "The blood of two Kurish slaves is enough for you cowards to speak loudly!" ”

Quigg became much more honest when he saw Friesen, and shrunk his head in defense: "Sooner or later, I will prove myself, I will!" ”

When Freesson saw Lawrence, he took the initiative to say, "Mr. Lawrence, the night pot you gave me is very useful, and I am very satisfied with it these nights, I like it so much!" ”

Lawrence smiled, "If you like it, Doug should like it too." ”

Friesen patted his bloated belly with one hand and laughed, "Yes, that's right, Kate told me that Doug loves that thing too." ”

After Frisen finished speaking, he spotted the moose head on the nearby dom sheep.

"Who is this moose?"

Sophia quickly said: "It was my master who beat it, this moose is several of your size, my master hunted it in the snow, we ate a lot of meat, and the rest was brought to Emma so that she could make us a big blanket!" ”

Freesson looked at the moose's head in amazement, wondering how big it really was.

"It's not easy to be such a big moose, did you bring it down yourself, Mr. Lawrence?"

Lawrence: "Yes. ”

Friesen reaffirmed Lawrence's abilities and soon invited him to his home.

Lawrence quickly went to the Friesen house, sat for a while, and went to the blacksmith and Wipdog's house to gossip.

Saliel and Sophia went to find the women in the town with Emma, and Emma alone was definitely not enough to make such a large animal skin into a quilt.

At the Bumians, cooperation is also necessary.

Lawrence was quick to learn about the recent situation from Kate.

Doug was still recuperating from his wounds in the village of the Dum, but he brought some of Doug's dogs and the rest of his brothers, plus some weak Kurs, and now gradually developed the village into Village No. 2.

The town harvested slaves and captives from nearby villages, because the town of Bomitheus was a big place here, so most of the slaves were honest and willing to live here.

The previous sneak attack made the Pumixiu realize the importance of the guards, so they arranged for Quegg to see the outside in the wooden house, and take the initiative to warn if strangers approached.

Correspondingly, he can't drink during this celebration, and someone will definitely wake everyone up when everyone is drunk.

There will be a lot of wine and meat, as well as bread and fire, which the women and children of Bhumixiu prepare from the morning.

Lawrence, Doug, and the others had eaten something and it was almost afternoon.

Recently, the daylight hours have been getting shorter and shorter, and Lawrence found that the daylight hours are now less than eight hours, basically stopping at eight o'clock ~ four o'clock in the afternoon, and it is still getting shorter.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, perhaps sensing that the time was almost up, the Bhumixiu quickly called out to the people in the room to come out.

Lawrence and Kate go out together, Kate goes home to call someone, and Lawrence finds Saryl and Sophia near the campfire that is being lit.

On the side of the road, two women dressed in sackcloth were using knives to cut meat on moose meat that had been sitting for a day.

A woman cut off a piece, and next to her, a cold-faced child wearing an animal skin jacket looked up at it.

Soon the woman squatted down and cut the meat with a knife, and the child reached for the piece of meat next to the knife and got the piece of raw meat the size of a french fry.

Just like Sophia had done at the beginning, the child reached out and stuffed the strips of meat into his oily mouth, chewing them carefully.

After the children were out of the way, the women were laughing and laughing while happily handling the ingredients.

From time to time, young children approached the area, and soon they could get a piece of meat, and more and more children in the neighborhood began to fight and chase each other.

Lawrence walked over to Sophia, who couldn't play with the kids and stayed with Sarry.

"Master!" Seeing Lawrence coming, Sophia greeted happily.

Lawrence smiled, "I told Kate, let's go to his place for the night and go back tomorrow." ”

"Hmm!" Sophia obediently agreed.

Saliel and Emma were sitting in a wooden chair and laughing.

When Emma saw Lawrence coming, she greeted her and said, "Mr. Lawrence, can you sell me one of those pots for sleeping at night?" ”

Lawrence said cheerfully, "Yes, three jars of water, or two rattan baskets can be replaced by one." ”

Emma quickly asked, "Is it okay with a wooden jar?" ”

"Absolutely." Lawrence is a good talker.

The festival began quickly, and although the weather was drowsy, dry and cold, the people gathered around to dispel the cold, and it was very lively.

Lawrence remembered the last time they gathered, when they collectively took revenge on the Churs.

This time there were fewer people than the last time, but everyone's faces were filled with a lively and cheerful atmosphere.

The women, who had been busy for a long time, quickly came out of the only baking room in town and filled large quantities of fresh, hot bread in flat baskets.

Women and children flocked to get their hands on the freshest bread.

Soon the blacksmith passed, and the women and children in the neighborhood became much more honest and watched as the blacksmith took the first bread.

Lawrence received bread from the blacksmith, and Lawrence and Sariel's hands soon received fresh bread and wine.

Emma didn't know when she left, joining the crowd of women not far away.

Lawrence tore a piece of the bread open and handed the steaming bread to Sophia.

Saliel also gave Sophia a small piece and fed her a little wine.

In addition to the moose meat brought by Lawrence, there is also fish and pork, mainly cured ham meat that has been preserved for a long time and a rare pig's trotters.

A few pieces of good-looking ham and meat were sandwiched in the bread, with the bitter and spicy ale wine in his hand, a mouthful of bread and bacon entered the throat, and then a few sips of spicy wine, and the body quickly warmed up.

It didn't take long for the women to dance around the fire, amidst the food and wine, and the cheerful atmosphere of the recent harvest.

Their dance was very simple at the beginning, that is, they swayed with a happy mood, but as they moved, walked, and their originally disorderly movements became neat and orderly.

"As the song sounds, as the flame warms."

"Let's forget the troubles of the past and drink in this warm home."

"We will forget the troubles of the past and dance to the song."

"We will forget the pain of the past and raise our glasses to salute our partners."

"I'm full of joy today, it's a good harvest time."

"The girls danced boldly, and the men watched enthusiastically."

"We're going to dance all night and we're going to remember the good times."

The Bhumishus sang together, men and women joined in, the children busily fed their stomachs, and the older lads watched the enthusiastic girls.

Strong men laugh and drink together, VIP is old, blacksmith and Kate have long since harvested female slaves and widows, plus the population has been redistributed before, there are no men who need to duel today.

Married women held hands and sang and danced, while unmarried young girls and widows looked at a few powerful people, and soon everyone found their own home.

Before you know it, it's a moonlit night, the harvest celebration is officially over, and the women of the Ripple and Doug families bring home the rest of the food, and the rest of the people go back satisfied.

Lawrence misses a lot of passionate girl widows' explicit instructions and pulls Saliel and Sophia to the place where they sleep.

If next year's harvest is good, there will be such a lively celebration.
